`.To otZZ whont it 11i/ty con/cern:

Be it known that I, GHARLESVWILLIAM SIE'- vented a new andlmproved Oil-Burner, of

which the followingis afull, clear, and exact A' description.

IThe principal purpose of this invention is to adapt an oil-burner to domestic stoves, particularly cookinghstoves; and to this end the invention comprises certain novel features of construction fitting the burner to a re-box ofa cooking stove or range.

This specification is an exact description of one example of myinvention, While the claims denne the actual scope thereof.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure l is a perspective view showing the several elements of the invention separated, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sect-ion of the burner.

a. indicates the front wall of the oven of the stove, and b indicates the front of the stove itself. The top' wall orV covering and tlie side walls of the stove have been omitted from the drawings; but, of course, it will be understood that the partsare inclosed in the usual manner.

A pan or tray c is provided vfor the recep-f tion of the oil, andto this tray leads thepoilsupply pipe c.v The tray has its rear portion deepest and inclined upward toward the front,

as best shown inFig. 2., 'In this tray isplaced a fire-plate d, which formsthe bottoln of the*` fire-box, such plate havinga vdepressed por'- tion 0r pan d', which lies in the tray c and communicates therewith by a passageidz.

d3 indicates a series of openings for the passage of the gas, these openings being located at the front edge of the fire-plate d.

Formed preferably integral with the rear wall of the pan or depression d is a bailleplate e, which stands vertically just forward of the wall ot of the oven. The tray or pan c has a rearwardly-projecting ledge c2, which bears on a bead ct', formed on the wall ot, and

Serial No. 111,502. (No model.)

said tray is engaged with the side walls of the stove in the same manner, such ledge c2 extending around both sides of the tray, as

showniu Fig. l. The fire-plate d has a ledge d4 projecting rearward from the baffle-plate e, and this ledge, together with the side portions of the fire-plate, bears on top of the ledge c2, a ibrous packingf being placed in a groove in the ledge c2, so as hermetically to connect the parts c and d and prevent leakage ofthe gas. The front wall of the -replate d lies back of the front wall of the pan c.

Over the'oriced front portion of the fire- Vplate d a bridge-plate g is located, this plate forming a passage from4 the front of the stove rearward over the lire-plate, through which passage the air is admitted into the fire-box to support combustion. This arch or bridge g has a continuation g' extending to the front wall b of the stove, and said passage opens at the front and at the bottom, as shown.

In using the apparatus the oilis introduced 'into-the pan or tray c until it runs through the orifice d2 and covers4 the'bottom of the depression or tray d. It is then ignited, and the heat generated by the burning oil will cause the oil in the bottom of the tray c to be vaporized, forming a gas which passes out of the oriices cl3 and is there mixedvwith the air under the bridge g and burns lover the tray d, the burning gases striking against the baffle-plate e and passing over it down under the 1. ovenfin' the ordinary manner.V The arrows in Fig. 2 illustrate the courseftakenby the gases. The ,bridge g and its extension 'g' rest on the ledge c2 ofthe tray c, and beads c3 are prow It win be' observed that should any of the gas condense vided to be engaged by said parts.

before it passes through the orifices d3 the oil of condensation will iiowback on the inclined bottom of the tray c,'into the lower portion thereof, and again be converted 'into vapor. After the oil is burned out of the tray d its level is kept below the'orifice d2.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray, and a dame-plate set thereon and having a depressed portion extendinginto IOO the tray or pan, said depressed portion being oriliced to communicate with the tray, andthe llame-plate being orificed to permit the passage of the gas from the tray over the flameplate.

2. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray, a llame-plate set thereon and haviuga depressed port-ion extending into the tray or pan, said depressed portion being oriflced to communicate with the tray and the flame-plate being orifced to permit the passage of the gas from the tray over the flameplate, and a baffle-plate rising from one side of the said depressed portion of the llameplate.

3. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray, a llame-plate set thereon and having adepressed portion extending into the tray or pan, said depressed portion being orificed to communicate with the tray and the flame-plate being orificed to permit the passage of the gas from the tray over the llameplate, and a bridge-plate placed over the perfoi-ated portion of the flame-plate to deflect the gases toward the depressed portion thereof' and to form an air-passage.

4. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray, a flameplate set thereon and having a depressed portion extending into the tray or pan, said depressed portion being oriced to communicate with the tray and the flame-plate being orificed to permit the passage of the gas from the tray over the flame-plate, a baille-plate rising from one side of' the said depressed portion of the flameplate, and a bridge-plate placed over the perforated portion of the fiame-plate to deflect the gases toward the indented or depressed portion of the llame-plate and to form an airpassage for the admission of air to the coinbustion-chamber.

5. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray adapted to receive a hydrocarbon oil, a flame-plate set over the tray, said flame-plate having orifices for the passage of the gas through it to permit burning the gas over the flame-plate, and an arch or bridge plate set over the perforated portion of the flame-plate to deflect the gases over the flameplate and also to form a passage for the admission of air to the combustion-chamber.

6. A gas generator andburner, comprising a pan or tray adapted to receive a hydrocarbon oil, a flame-plate set over the tray, said flame-plate having orices for the passage of the gas through it to permit burning the gas over the flame-plate, an arch or bridge plate set over the perforated portion of the flameplate to deflect the gases over the flame-plate and also to form a passage for the admission of air to the combustion-chamber, and a baffle-plate located at the opposite edge ot' the flame-plate and standing vertically thereon.

7. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray adapted to have the oil introduced into and vaporized therein, and a flameplate covering the pan or tray and adapted to have the gas burned over it, said flameplate having a depressed portion with an oriflee therein communicating with the pan or tray, for the purpose specified.

8. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray adapted to receive a hydrocarbon oil, a llame-plate set over the tray, said flame-plate having orifices for the passage of the gas to the top of the plate to permit burning the gas over the flame-plate, means at one edge of the flame-plate to facilitate the introduction of a current of air, and a baille-plate located at the opposite edge ofthe llame-plate and standing vertically thereon.

9. A gas generator and burner, comprising a pan or tray adapted to have the oil introduced thereinto and vaporized therein, and a flame-plate covering the pan or tray, the generator and burner having a passage for the vapor from the pan or tray to the top of the flame-plate, whereby to permit burning the gas over said plate, and the llame-plate having a depressed portion With an orifice therein communicating with the pan or tray.

In testimony whereof I have signed myv name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
